How bad are mages solo in level-appropriate dungeons?

[Troxx]

DDD has some good situational uses. It’s a warrior and has pretty huge hp, very strong DS and a nice short range aoe. Melee dmg output takes a hit but between the large hp, ds, and aoe it can be pretty good for use solo or in a duo situation where your pet is tanking.

For all intent and purposes DDD is a stop-gap between the 49 and 57 earth pet. Depending on course if you don’t need the control of the root. There is probably a black belt justifier here in the boards who will explain how it’s the dark horse…but I’m inclined not to believe it.

There is a serious lull between level 49 and 57. Keep pushing and pick easy single targets to chew up.
